Will I be kicked out of the camping clique already if I say yes? Dh hates them almost as much as Jeremy Clarkson, so I don't think it's going to happen, but I'd like to be able to go camping (if you can call it that in a caravan) in the Easter and October hols.
We've got friends who have a 35ft static on Anglesey and they go most weekends, leave work at 4pm (teachers )and are there by 6.30pm with a glass of wine in hand - sometimes if we had the odd 30k I do think that sounds tempting, great rental too, £500 a week in high summer - as for becoming a shed dragger-nope.
We've thought about a static, but god they are really expensive!!! We had lots of caravan hols when we were young (nothing else in fact) and had a fab time. I think on the whole kids love caravans........not sure I could be arsed with a tourer though - all that palaver.
we had one and I hated it. (It was huge, too, but still felt like holidaying in a sardine tin)
Still better than being in a tent imho - at least we had heating and a fridge.
The towing is a hassle, and it does take time to set it up - particularly when there's just one of you and the other one is busy trying to quieten a bunch of hysterical babies/preschoolers. And it's not that cheap to stay on a nice site with a caravan.
The 'Canvas' and 'Keycamp' type caravans are practicaly lodges, when I think about it. have their own loos and showers, separate bedrooms, proper kitchens etc
